About Ms. Jacobs
This fall, I start my 33rd year in the classroom. I graduated from East Central University in the summer of 1984 and began my teaching career four days later as an all-day kindergarten teacher.
After six years of teaching in my home town of Wetumka, I moved to Enid, where I taught third grade until I moved to Broadmoore three years ago. I have been teaching sixth grade at Broadmoore, but when the third grade classroom opened up, I couldn't turn down the opportunity to return to the grade where I have spent most of my teaching career.
I have been fortunate to win a number of awards in my years as a teacher, including being honored twice in Enid as Teacher of the Year at Glenwood School. I also received the Enid Air Force Association's Teacher of the Year for two years, and have been nominated for its state and national awards. I have presented at state and national conferences and have been designated as a Master Teacher by the Oklahoma Energy Resource Board and work as a teacher-trainer for science curricula throughout the state. I also co-authored OERB's second elementary curriculum, and I am the co-author of a new picture book, O is for Oil.
I am a faculty member for one of the nation's most prestigious professional development organizations for teachers, Pathways to Literacy, and I am also active as a trainer of teachers for several statewide organizations.
